Then they must all be runninвЂ™ wild a few streets over. Scene 2: A Downtrodden Neighborhood Street Dog Catcher: You seen any stray dogs around here? Annie: No, sir. Narrator 5: While everyone at the orphanage was busy cleaning, Annie escaped into the streets of New York. WonвЂ™t you please come get your baby, Maybe. So, maybe now this prayerвЂ™s the last one of its kind. So, maybe now itвЂ™s time, and maybe when I wake, TheyвЂ™ll be there calling me вЂњBaby,вЂќ Maybe Betcha he reads, betcha she sews, Maybe sheвЂ™s made me a closet of clothes, Maybe theyвЂ™re strict, as straight as a line, DonвЂ™t really care as long as theyвЂ™re mine. Betcha theyвЂ™re good, why shouldnвЂ™t they be? TheyвЂ™re one mistake was givinвЂ™ up me. Betcha theyвЂ™re young, betcha theyвЂ™re smart, Bet they collect things like ash trays and art. Maybe in a house all hidden by a hill, SheвЂ™s sittinвЂ™ playing pianah, HeвЂ™s sittinвЂ™ payinвЂ™ a bill. п‚Ї Song: Maybe (company) Maybe far away, or maybe real nearby, He may be pouring her coffee, She may be straightвЂ™ning his tie. вЂњSanta Claus,вЂќ whatвЂ™s that? WhoвЂ™s he? No one cares for you a smidge When youвЂ™re in an orphanage! ItвЂ™s the hard-ВвЂђknock life, ItвЂ™s the hard-ВвЂђknock life, ItвЂ™s the hard-ВвЂђknock life! Narrator 4: The orphans were working hard on scrubbing the floors, washing the sheets when Annie heard Molly crying Annie: WhatвЂ™s the matter Molly? Molly: Sometimes I feel like IвЂ™m never going to get a family to adopt me Annie: DonвЂ™t worry Molly, theyвЂ™re out there they just havenвЂ™t found their way to you yet. No oneвЂ™s there when your dreams at night get creepy No one cares if you grow or if you shrink! No one dries when your eyes get wet anвЂ™ weepy! From the cryinвЂ™, you would think this placeвЂ™d sink! Ohhhhhhhh! Empty belly life! Rotten, smelly life! Full-ВвЂђof-ВвЂђsorrow life! No tomorrow life! Santa Claus, we never see. п‚Ї Song: ItвЂ™s the Hard Knock Life (company) All Orphans: ItвЂ™s the hard-ВвЂђknock life for us! ItвЂ™s the hard-ВвЂђknock life for us! вЂSteada treated -ВвЂђ We get tricked! вЂSteada kisses -ВвЂђ We get kicked! ItвЂ™s the hard knock life! Got no folks to speak of, so, ItвЂ™s the hard-ВвЂђknock row we hoe! Cotton blankets вЂSteada wool Empty bellies вЂSteada full! ItвЂ™s the hard knock life! DonвЂ™t it feel like the wind is always howlinвЂ™? DonвЂ™t is seem like thereвЂ™s never any light? Once a day, donвЂ™t you wanna throw the towel in? ItвЂ™s easier than puttinвЂ™ up a fight. (MISS HANNIGAN enters and catches her) Miss Hannigan: Aha! Caught you! Get up and do your chores! Make this dump shine like the top of the Chrysler Building. Kate: Annie, what are you doing? Annie: RunninвЂ™ away. Narrator 2: WeвЂ™re smack dab in the middle of the Great Depression in the city of New York. Scene 1: The New York City Orphanage Narrator 1: The time is 1933.
